Question for updating to a newer Strut

Gents,

Question for experts:
I plan to buy a set of newer struts for my 1970 911T, (yes, I am looking for a VGC set w/ 3.5 inch brake caliper spacing). Once I get the item, what else must I buy or replace on the car to install the newer struts? I have rebuilt 911S Alum calipers in a box.

Items are the following:
1. Buy new strut inserts to match the strut, don't used the ones that may come with the used part.
2. Ball joints to fit the newer strut.
3. Update the pin at the bottom of the strut ??? not sure about this.
4. Buy new bearings - inner and outer.
5. Brake lines.

Any help please! TIA
Vr,
Bavaria911
